Matilda is a rescue cat and, after much searching, her owners were able to track down her siblings - two of whom have also developed similar eye problems.

Her owners have considered surgery to remove the lenses, but decided against it. Due to collagen deficiency related to the disorder, it is very difficult for her to heal from injuries and surgery.

"No matter what happens, her servants think she’s perfect and beautiful," say Matilda’s owners on her website. "and will love and care for her the absolute best way that they can for however long this little alien is here."

Her owners have now set up a fundraising page to help other animals with health conditions. Find out more here.
